Full Case Study
Managing a hair salon is more than just scheduling appointments – it’s about understanding customer preferences, optimizing staff efficiency, and making data-driven decisions to grow the business. NATALI had been using Booksy to handle bookings, but they quickly realized that it wasn’t enough.
They needed:
Customer segmentation tools to personalize services and marketing efforts.
Real-time analytics to monitor salon performance across multiple locations.
Automation features to improve client engagement and reduce administrative workload.
A centralized data solution to eliminate the manual merging of reports from different systems every month.
Without these capabilities, NATALI found themselves manually tracking customer behavior, struggling to optimize marketing campaigns, and missing opportunities to improve client retention.
What We Did
We took on the challenge with a full-scale development approach:
We designed and developed a custom Salon CRM that gave NATALI full control over their business operations, along with a data visualization dashboard for real-time performance tracking. Our solution included:
- Advanced Customer Segmentation:
- Grouped customers based on visit frequency, spending habits, and service preferences.
- Enabled targeted promotions and loyalty programs.
- Real-Time Data Visualization:
- Created an interactive dashboard displaying key business metrics across all salon locations.
- Integrated booking trends, revenue insights, and staff performance into a single view.
- Automated Marketing & Client Engagement:
- Implemented automated appointment reminders, follow-ups, and rebooking prompts.
- Integrated email and SMS campaigns personalized for different customer segments.
- Consolidating Data into a Single, Reliable System:
- Brought together all scattered data sources into a unified platform.
- Eliminated the need for manual merging of spreadsheets and reports.
- Provided a real-time and trustworthy single source of truth for business decisions.
- Seamless Integration with Existing Systems:
- Synced the CRM with Booksy to retain existing appointment management while expanding functionality.
- Ensured smooth data migration with no disruption to daily operations.
Why It Was Important to the Business? With multiple locations and a growing customer base, NATALI needed a centralized system that allowed them to make smarter decisions. The new CRM helped them:
- Understand their customers better.
- Optimize their marketing efforts.
- Reduce administrative workload with automation.
- Monitor salon performance on a single screen in real-time.
- Eliminate the frustration of manually merging monthly reports.
